Tilden Moschetti, Esq. is a syndication attorney that focuses exclusively on Regulation D offerings for real estate syndicators, business owners, entrepreneurs, and private equity funds. Tilden is a highly regarded expert in syndication as an attorney, a syndication coach, General Counsel to two private equity funds, and an active syndicator himself. He has been featured on NPR, NBC News, People Magazine, the National Law Journal, the San Francisco Chronicle, and the Los Angeles Business Journal.
A fundamental difference between Tilden and other attorneys is that Tilden came to the practice of syndication law as a syndicator of his own deals first. Tildenâs practice as a real estate attorney changed gears when a partner showed him a deal and asked him if they could syndicate that deal together. Both investors and Tilden made a great return, so he kept syndicating. As his successes grew doing deals, 9 years ago he refocused his firm away from real estate law, to syndication law exclusively.
In this episode, we talked to Tilden about syndications, its differences with joint ventures, common mistakes made by syndicators, vetting syndication attorneys, tips for new passive investors, syndication partners, and much more.

Scott Morse is a true disruptor and outsider to the Real Estate industry. Leveraging his sales acumen garnered from over 20 years in high ticket sales combined with a ruthless entrepreneurial appetite, Scott Morse has a story unlike any other.
After leveraging his sales experience to become the COO of a multi-million-dollar vacation membership sales company Mr. Morse left this comfortable high-paying position of 10 years to pursue his own entrepreneurial journey. Scott applied this knowledge and scaled his new small marketing company into a 30MM+ annual revenue company within 5 years, earning the attention of Wall Street, lobbyist groups and politicians. After facing regulatory headwind, Mr. Morse chose to sunset this company and this led him to stumble into the REI space.
Immediately upon investigating the REI space Mr. Morse identified various weak entry points, a fractured market place, and a substantial epidemic of under-qualified leads ruining the sales cycles of most REI companies. Thus, was birthed Lamassu Media, the industryâs first Enterprise Level Call Center, located in beautiful Colombia South America.
Starting a new company in a new country led to many great experiences including now employing over 200 people, dialing more than 2MM numbers a week, producing thousands of the best leads the industry has ever seen and simultaneously building his own REI portfolio and data company. Mr. Morse is a proud partner in multiple self storage facilities, and holds a sizable residential portfolio.
In this episode, we talked to Scott about high-ticket sales and his sales principles and his approach, his organization and how heâs scaling his business, his vision of the market today and what he anticipates from 2025, Novations, and much more.
